There is an undeniable link between mass shootings and domestic violence. More than two-thirds (68%) of mass shootings in the U.S. between 2014 and 2019 were either domestic violence attacks or perpetrated by someone with a history of domestic violence. To protect survivors and our communities, we must work to ensure that people who are abusive don’t have access to firearms.
